That ethic is really counterintuitive to me. I'd be really interested if you want to expound on it a bit.
E.g., Are there limits to where you'd apply it? Does it apply to laws that you (personally) do want to have vigorously enforced?
- helaoban 6y agoYes of course there are limits, nothing should be held as an absolute. I also don't think it's a very complicated ethic, you follow it until it's no longer the right thing to do. As another commenter noted, rape and murder etc. obviously don't apply. Most people can come to decisions like this without the mediation of a legal system. In this particular case, I don't think that ratting on gym owners who are trying to salvage their livelihoods by serving willing customers is worthy of reporting to the authorities. Never thought I'd see the day where Americans turn in their neighbors to the state.
